Subject: [PATCH] git-am: Clean up the asciidoc documentation
Date: Mon, 14 May 2007 16:44:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11791538941022-git-send-email-frank@lichtenheld.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1179153893715-git-send-email-frank@lichtenheld.de>

Add --keep to synopsis.
The synopsys used a mix of tabs and spaces, unified
to use only spaces.

Shuffle options around in synopsys and description
for grouping them logically.

Add more gitlink references to other commands.

Various grammatical fixes and improvements.
